The term
"Superdelegate" is going to be the "Hanging Chad" of this election.
After the Super Tuesday that was in fact super, but not the deciding event it had been hyped, there is a decent chance that no Democratic candidate will emerge from the primaries leaving the decision up to the Superdelegates. There's a great chance that each candidate will have around 1350 pleged delegates in by Mar 4 and 1600 each by June. So that leaves the 800 or so superdelegates as the deciding factor. If it comes to this, it really might just be a race between who owes the Clinton's and who feels wronged by a bridge the Clinton's burned. Fun stuff to figure out, huh?
So who makes up these superdelegates? Here you go:
Democratic members of the United States Congress, Democratic governors, various additional elected officials, members of the Democratic National Committee, as well as "all former Democratic Presidents, all former Democratic Vice Presidents, all former Democratic Leaders of the U.S. Senate, all former Democratic Speakers of the U.S. House of Representatives and Democratic Minority Leaders, and all former Chairs of the Democratic National Committee
